Is there a way to alphabetize my apps? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Just came from HTC and don't know much about Samsung's version of Android, but this is something that's already annoying me. I've looked in and couldn't find anything, so if someone could give me a heads up I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Yes!
In app drawer hit menu then view type. There you can select prefered format. Samsung stock way is weird lol

Hahaha, I feel pretty slow right now. I've been noticing that a lot of these "Amazing" features are buried inside Samsung's OS. Thank you for not ragging on me for that one. Hahahaha

SmartToolKit

So this may not really apply, but has anyone used SmartToolKit on a 6800? Particularly the WM7-ish skin they have?
http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/04/04...ur-smartphone/
I thought it might tide me over until I take the time to flash something, but searches don't seem to bring up much info on it.....

Your link is screwed. Where ever you copied it from you got the short version with the "..." in it. You need to post the full URL.
Wow, I'm an idiot......

Sorry guys...
Looks interesting. The device they showed it on was a non-touchscreen one though. Why not try it out and let us know how it goes?
smartoolkit was only for non-touchscreen devices. I used it on my HTC S640 but it wouldn't load for my mogul/titan. So I went to Quick menu, which is simple and great

[REQUEST] Droid 2 browser.apk

Hi everybody, im wondering if anyone would be able to pull and post their browser.apk here for me (from fission vanilla and the stock if at all possible)!? Im active in the evo 4g sections and unfortunately, all the sense based browsers are difficult because of one function, PINCH TO ZOOM! Stupid HTC has is set by default(and cannot be permanently changed) to rejustify text on pinch to zoom, which doesnt sound bad, but trust me, makes for an AWFUL experience trying to browse the web. Every time i try to zoom in on a button or on a picture or anything, it gets moved 2 or 3 screens over... I cant TAKE IT!!! so it would be lovely if any of you wonderful people might be able to help me out and ill see if i can get that baby installed one way or another, thank you!
Not sure if the Browser.apk from our phones will work on yours. Try downloading and extracting the apk from one of the roms posted in the D2 development forum. Stock is Blur-based and definitely won't work, but you can try Fission (Vanilla). Might work for ya. Good luck!

thank you very much for the link! and i honestly would've gotten it myself had i realized it was as simple as yoinking it from the zip lol. somehow i didnt think you'd be able to get very far into the rom without it being flashed, but i guess it just shows how much i am at the mercy of everybody here still, thank you again!

[Q] Galaxy S3 Camera

Hey guys!
Is it possible to use the camera apk from galaxy S3 in our good ol' S2?
I saw the features of S3 and the camera app looks really good and functional..
Pull the apk off your SIII and find out.

The retarded, impossible to answer nature of the OP's question deserved a sarcastic, flippant response.

if it's impossible to answer, you can say why it is so. flaming people who are trying to learn is the actual retarded behavior I'd say..

Okay, consider this. Ask one of the owners of an SIII to pull the apk and framework off it for you.
Stop and think about it for a minute.
Got it yet?

There was no sarcasm in my post. I'm just trying to get you to think logically about what you're asking. You said you wanted to learn.
I admire & respect you for trying to get people to think logically/coherently around here before posting crap Oinky, which the OP seems to be doing a lot on here lately. He's got more than a few mates tho.
However, it's an exercise in futility. Most people here don't want the logical/simple that requires a bit of work on their part. They want the complex/convoluted that requires effort on the part of everyone but them :-/

I'm not as experienced in android as you are mate. I was asking if theoretically its possible. If you don't have anything useful to say regarding my question, please move along. And keep your wit to yourself.
1) I did say something 'useful' which was proportionate to the question.
2) No.
Thanks for playing.
Edit to add - Again, think for a moment. Different phone. Will require different firmware/framework; I.E SGS2 roms will not run on the SGS3, of course the camera apk for the S3 won't work on the S2. Do you see anyone on here running the camera apk from the Nexus on their S2 ?
As we've said, a few moments of logical thinking could have negated the need for this pointless thread.

So... You're asking a theoretical question about an .apk file from a phone that has yet to be commercially released, if it will work on an I9100?
*facepalm*
Seriously, think about it.

See, now was that too hard? Thanks for explaining. I've learnt a thing or two from you.
I read about porting ROMs and was under the impression that the same applies for .apk
This wasn't pointless. At least for me.
No, it wasn't hard. And that's exactly the point several people have tried to illustrate for you, but it has gone way over your head. You just don't get it.
Now then, that's it for me. You're beginning to drag me down to your level & I know I've got no chance Vs your experience (some people reading this will understand where I'm coming from).

( question for a question ) What do you wish to do with the Nook that it is not doing yet ? There is the ( wise ) old adage, if its not broke, don't fix it !
.
Here's something you can do. Go to the front door of the Nook forum,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1394
When search is back up. I went there right now and it says :
"Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience."
.
Search on the term "1.43" and see what people are saying about it. Search has a cool trick where it'll show you the link to the forum post. Very nice...

I guess I will have to try out that cool search trick. You mean I just type anything in the search bar and amazing things pop up? Wow! I think I read somewhere theres a browser out called Google that does something like that. Just a simple question looking for a simple answer old_fart. Not really asking you to give me a tutorial on searching. But hey that's cool! Anyway's thanks for the reply. I think. Nice Day/Night! Later major dude. I will try that search thing. Promise..

Anyway, I believe you can find the changelog for the B&N firmware updates on their website somewhere. I haven't read anyone who was really impressed with anything after upgrading though.

Kind of what I was going for. Alway's heard old_fart was a tough nut to crack. So thought I would give it a go. All in fun. Some people say stay with it and some people say upgrade. Just get's a bit confusing as to what you gain or lose.
But I will definitely try that Google search engine thingy I've been reading so much about.
You can tune a guitar but you can't tuna fish.
Thanks Solar.Plexus

Not sure getting it sorted out was and option. I think what he was basically telling me that if it isn't broke don't fix it. Is that Socrates verbiage he used? Just looking for something to do with the tablet while waiting on my GSIII to arrive. Hate to retire my Decks_Reloaded EVO. All good things come to an end. More Socrates Verbiage

im not a developer but all ive heard all over the note 2 forums is how it is solely a touchwiz thing. so i would assume the other devices would need tw. assuming that, no one has been successful in this so far. its a neat concept, but i cant find any legitimate uses for it. ive tried texting while watching youtube videos etc... and the even with the note 2 big real estate, there isnt enough room to efficiently do 2 things at once.
and there cant be ported the whole touchwiz ported wit it to other device ? ive got nexus7, it is big enough, so i think it wil be useful.

I don't know if that's possible. It may be. I also don't know if it has anything to do with the kernel like s pen does

Lol I'm really sorry I couldn't be of help. Just know that it isn't even working on the aosp roms for the phone's it was designed for. I'm guessing that'll come first, if ever. If you're rooted, check out cornerstone by onskreen. Its pretty much the same thing, and is in development now
you dont have to apologize, can you give the link to that ?
